Yes, that's it. It's the same format as the FE forum and you get used to it over time.

The AFD's are a much better choice. I wasn't for sure what your budget was and if you intended to reuse some existing cast iron heads.

My Cleveland stuff is internally balanced, so any SBF 0 balance flywheel will work, just as long as you match the diameter to the bellhousing. Older Windsor/Cleveland stuff was 164T, new stuff is 157T. The new bellhousings (such as Quicktime) or the 5.0 bellhousings won't swallow up a 164T flywheel.

As for the clutch, a twin disc would probably be a bad idea in front of a T5. The twin discs will hold up to 800hp, so they will not slip/give in any way. When you put 500-600hp in front of a transmission that will only hold 300, you really don't want to continually shock the driveline. If you aim for 600hp, the T5 won't live very long anyway.

With that being said, the McLeod twin discs are universal in the fact that they include an adapter plate that will work with any flywheel pressure plate pattern. But if you're worried about pedal pressure, there are certainly ways around a stiff pedal.
